Actually, like other posters are saying, this is really the icing on the cake. They either have to concede that the original numbers were completely wrong and that not that many would have died anyways, or they have to concede that the US response worked.

In either situation Trump wins and the MSM image goes down the tubes.

If they concede the numbers were wrong and the initial panic was uncalled for as an attempt to reduce the value of the Trump response, Redpills across America will be shoved down the throat of unsuspecting liberals and independents when they realize they were furloughed and fired over plain and simple irresponsible journalism.

If they refuse to do that, they really can't run the stories anymore that the Trump response has been inadequate, especially as our case numbers and antibody testing start to really downgrade the mortality rate of the virus. This Redpill is a little more subtle, but ultimately the real kicker will be the anger of the unemployed after this whole thing subsides.

At many times I doubt the whole '5d chess' meme as Trump just getting repeatedly lucky, but this one seems like a true interdimensional checkmate.

"...as Trump just getting repeatedly lucky..."

The success of the brilliant, prescient, hardworking and industrious may appear to be "luck" to others.

'Luck' is the first excuse of every sore loser.

This! Trump comes out the winner if this 2.2 million projected dead coronavirus statistics is used. Either Trump did an amazing job and saved over 2.1 million lives or Democrats and the media were wrong and wrecked our economy for nothing. This will be the biggest redpill ever.

He's already dropped little statements in his pressers he's moving quicker than the Democrats, Fauci, or Birx want to.

His original timeline was around Easter - and in his last couple of pressers, both Fauci and Birx have had to admit the numbers are leveling off. All the stupid reporter questions center around the lame "if the EXPERTS say keep it closed" BS.

I think I would be 100% spot on to say Trump not only is looking at the numbers hard for the earliest possible date - he's got a optimistic plan to do this big.

He doesn't think like a politician - he thinks like a businessman and MAGA is his business and product.
